Amtrak Silver Service

Pros: Most of it. Cons: PA communication. Passengers that were not considerate with sound (crying child, speaker phone, listening on iPads and phones without headphones) -- torture for me. Tips: Bring noise-cancelling headphones.

Wi-Fi needs to improve. The train would be great to travel if I could get some work done while traveling. The Wi-Fi made it difficult.
